Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!-Chapter 589 - 563: Devouring Spirit Immortal Array_1
Eternal Temple!
The Forbidden Zone!
"Greetings, Master!"
Before three thousand mountains shrouded in an aura of death, ’Robbery’ knelt respectfully.
In front of him stood a phantom, hands clasped behind his back. His face was blurred, yet he radiated an unparalleled and supreme aura, one that even the strongest Martial Artist in the world wouldn’t dare to gaze upon.
He stood quietly, a dazzling light surrounding him, the power of the Great Dao twining about him, causing heaven and earth to tremble.
Under his feet, three thousand laws emerged, forming an auspicious cloud.
As if to tell the world that the Three Thousand Laws were only fit to be his footstool!
"We still lack the final special physique!"
The phantom surveyed the three thousand colossal mountains. His gaze, capable of traversing heaven and earth, swept over two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine blood-drenched peaks, finally landing on the white colossal mountain in the center.
His voice was plain, but when it reached ’Robbery’s ears, it was like a divine sound shaking the world, a god felling the mortal realm. His soul trembled relentlessly, giving him the illusion of being torn apart.
"Please punish me, Master!" ’Robbery’ said tremulously.
He knew that the Master was rebuking him for his incompetence, for letting Qin Wudao escape and for failing to obtain the Divine Body of Chaos.
"I will give you one last chance!"
"In a few days, the Saint’s Court of the Qin Dynasty will journey to the Infinite Sea to open the Eternal Secret Realm. I don’t care what methods you use, you must capture Qin Wudao and seize the ’Seal of Supremacy’!"
The phantom finished speaking calmly.
Afterward, his form began to fade, transforming into countless points of light before vanishing completely.
"As you command!"
’Robbery’ slumped to the ground, his face pale. After respectfully bowing, a crazed murderous intent flared in his eyes. The Power of Robbery surged to the heavens, blanketing everything, as if to devour the entire world.
This killing intent was mainly directed at the Saint’s Court of the Qin Dynasty, primarily at Qin Wudao!
A moment later, ’Robbery’ stood up and roared, gnashing his teeth, "I swear, the journey to the Eternal Secret Realm will be your doom!"
The chilling sound, seeping from between his teeth, coupled with his suffocating murderous intent, caused the temperature in the Void to plummet sharply.
For a time, snow danced wildly; it was utterly frigid!
"However, with my strength alone, I am no match for the Qin Dynasty. Very well, I shall first help the Soul Emperor achieve his breakthrough!"
Quickly, ’Robbery’ sat cross-legged in the Void, dejected and drained of energy.
He had to admit it. He was no longer a match for the Saint’s Court of the Qin Dynasty! Wait! Lack of forbearance in small matters upsets great plans!
As long as the Soul Emperor broke through, Eternal Temple would possess two Demi-Immortals and could then defeat the alliance of the Saint’s Court of the Qin Dynasty and Immortality Mountain.
This time, he would definitely complete the mission perfectly! Definitely!
「Time slowly passed.」
Elite legions of the Eternal Temple, under the Soul Emperor’s command, lined up neatly and entered the Forbidden Zone.
These soldiers were all clad in black armor, wielding cold weapons, their eyes icy and ruthless, overflowing with murderous intent. Their cultivation was all above the Reaching the Holy Realm; undoubtedly, they were the elite of the elite!
Gathered together, they were like a black tide, ready to engulf everything.
"Master, they have all assembled!" the Soul Emperor said, stepping forward and saluting respectfully.
The thought of his imminent breakthrough to the Semi-Immortal Realm filled him with such excitement that his breathing grew somewhat rapid.
As for the lives of the soldiers, they had long been pushed to the back of his mind!
"’Here’s the Formation Map. Let them set up the array!" ’Robbery’ declared, waving his right hand as a gold light flew out.
Upon receiving the Formation Map, the Soul Emperor felt a surge of intense Evil Qi. It infiltrated his body through his fingertips, ravaging him wildly like a perennial frost, threatening to freeze his entire being.
What a powerful Formation!
After circulating his Spiritual Energy to expel the Evil Qi, the Soul Emperor began to study the Formation, a hint of joy appearing on his face.
Four hours later, the Soul Emperor soared into the sky. Using Spiritual Energy, he manifested a blood-red Formation in the heavens. It was filled with endless Evil Qi as he commanded with stern authority, "Give the order! Set up the array!"
"As you command!"
Since the soldiers of the legions had sworn undying loyalty to the Soul Emperor, they showed no hesitation upon hearing the order to set up the Formation and quickly shifted their positions.
They had no idea that the countdown to their lives had already begun!
This Formation was their doom!
With the sound of marching footsteps, over three hundred million soldiers formed a massive circular Formation, stretching tens of thousands of miles. The Formation flickered with a blood-red light, illuminating the Forbidden Zone.
The Soul Emperor strode to the center of the Formation and sat down cross-legged.
"’Immortal Array of Soul Absorption, activate!’" ’Robbery’ intoned. He formed hand seals, and dozens of strands of the Power of Robbery shot through the air, activating the Formation.
BANG!
BOOM! BOOM...
The Formation blazed with a brilliant light.
Streams of pure energy erupted from the bodies of the Eternal Temple soldiers, forming pillars of blood-red light that pierced the universe. Its terrifying pressure tore through the Void and shook the Azure Sky.
"Spiritual Energy!" he exclaimed. "Fantastic! I can sense Spiritual Energy!"
The Soul Emperor, sitting cross-legged in the center of the Formation, was ecstatic. After several years, he could finally sense Spiritual Energy; he could finally cultivate again.
This joy, stemming from the depths of his soul, almost brought him to tears.
It had been too difficult! To see his former rivals break through to the Semi-Immortal Realm while his own cultivation stagnated! That kind of invisible torment had almost suffocated him, almost driven him mad! Now! Finally, he had broken through the clouds to see the sun!
Devour! the Soul Emperor roared in his heart. His Cultivation Technique operated furiously, devouring all the Spiritual Energy above his head. He even began to forcibly plunder the Spiritual Energy within the soldiers through the Immortal Array of Soul Absorption.
"Hmm?"
This caused many soldiers to feel a sense of unease.
Gradually, the suction grew stronger and stronger, quickly draining all the Spiritual Energy from the soldiers’ bodies.
However, the suction force within their bodies did not disappear. Instead, like a greedy Taotie, it began to forcibly extract their blood and essence.
"No...!" The Eternal Temple soldiers, feeling their lifeblood and essence rapidly draining, realized what was happening and struggled desperately to escape the Formation.
But by now, it was too late!
Once trapped within the Immortal Array of Soul Absorption, unless the Soul Emperor personally deactivated the Formation, it would continue to operate until all energy was drained.
"Haha! So much energy!" the Soul Emperor exclaimed, overjoyed.
In stark contrast to the soldiers’ despair, the Soul Emperor was ecstatic. Propelled by a vast amount of energy, he successfully broke through to the Peak of the Great Emperor Realm and began his assault on the Semi-Immortal Realm.
Many powerful generals opened their eyes. Staring at the rapidly advancing Soul Emperor, they roared with resentment, "Pavilion Master, your heart is truly cruel!"
"Soul Emperor, you have betrayed my unwavering loyalty!"
"I refuse to accept this! I’ve braved fire and water for the Eternal Temple, toiled dutifully, and yet this is my reward!"
As for the ordinary elite soldiers, their bodies were already hollowed out, their faces pale as paper, their auras faint, their flesh and blood withered and dry.
Some with weaker cultivation had already succumbed to the extreme pain, their lives extinguished, becoming dried corpses, mere skin and bones.
Why? This question surfaced in everyone’s minds. Why would the Soul Emperor, to whom they had sworn undying loyalty, take their lives in such a cruel manner?!
A dense miasma of resentment emanated from their bodies, blanketing the sky above the Forbidden Zone. It roiled incessantly as an ominous wind howled, and their eerie shrieks sent chills down the spine of anyone who heard them.
"’Resentment? This is good stuff!’" ’Robbery’ remarked with a faint smile. He opened his mouth wide and swallowed the sky-filling resentment whole.
